An Invitation to Slow Down
In a world that moves at a relentless pace, the concept of ‘nurturing the soul’ has never been more relevant. PoB Hotels has launched Nurture Your Soul, a luxury wellness retreat designed to help travelers pause, unwind, and embrace a new approach to self-care. This immersive journey takes guests to some of Britain’s most serene locations, where nature, mindfulness, and luxury harmoniously blend.

Discovering the Art of Mindful Travel
Wellness is no longer just a trend—it’s an essential part of modern living. PoB Hotels, the only collection of Britain’s finest independent hotels, has created Nurture Your Soul as more than just a getaway. It’s an opportunity to engage in mindful movement, indulge in spa rituals, and connect deeply with nature. Whether seeking a spa break in the UK or a relaxing weekend escape, PoB Hotels offers the perfect setting for self-care.

A Journey Through Britain’s Most Serene Escapes
To bring this philosophy to life, PoB Hotels has partnered with actress and wellness advocate Gemma Merna, founder of Mind and Wellness. In celebration of Nurture Your Soul, Gemma has personally curated her own bespoke PoB Break, inviting guests to follow in her footsteps for a transformative escape through Northern England’s most exceptional wellness destinations.


The journey begins at Farlam Hall, where Gemma finds tranquility in the heart of the Cumbrian countryside. The crisp air and rolling estate grounds set the stage for mindful reflection, with invigorating morning hikes offering a chance to disconnect from daily stress. After a day of exploration, unwind with a dining experience at the Michelin-starred Cedar Tree restaurant, savoring locally inspired cuisine before retreating to an elegant suite for deep rest.


From there, Seaham Hall awaits, a dramatic clifftop sanctuary on the Durham coast. Here, Gemma invites you to immerse yourself in the transformative experiences of the award-winning Serenity Spa, where thermal pools, hydrotherapy circuits, and bespoke wellness treatments melt away tension and restore balance. As one of the UK’s best spa hotels, guests can immerse themselves in a world of relaxation, allowing both body and mind to rejuvenate.


The final destination is Gilpin Hotel & Lake House, a place that redefines the meaning of relaxation. Perched high among the treetops, the Swedish-style treatment room provides a private sanctuary for ultimate serenity. With gentle massages, soothing aromatherapy, and meditative moments surrounded by nature, guests experience a newfound sense of stillness in one of Britain’s top boutique wellness hotels.
Choosing Sustainable Luxury with Peace of Mind
For those who value responsible travel, PoB Hotels’ commitment to sustainability offers reassurance. Partnering with EarthCheck, a leader in environmental benchmarking, PoB Hotels supports eco-friendly practices across its independent hotel collection. These hotels are actively working to reduce their environmental footprint, protect local communities, and create a more regenerative future. Choosing a PoB retreat means indulging in luxury while supporting a more sustainable world.


More Than a Retreat, a Way of Life
PoB Hotels is expanding this vision with exclusive wellness retreats across Britain. Partnering with wellness experts such as Gemma Merna and celebrity Pilates instructor Nathalie Clough, these retreats offer guided Pilates sessions, mindfulness workshops, and tailored wellness experiences. More than just a temporary escape, these programs are designed to inspire long-term well-being and offer some of the best wellness retreats in the UK.
